Can kids under 10 be possibly taught coding, without even mentioning the word syntax to them ??🤔🤔🤔

    I’ve never used it, but people I work with teach Scratch to in their spare time. I quick search suggests it is years 8+. I guess it’s more programming than coding, but could be a starting point and lead into coding under 10?

        Good question!

        “Programming and coding are closely related but not the same. Programming is the process that covers problem-solving, designing, building, and maintaining software, while coding is the step of writing the actual instructions in a programming language. Both are important and work together to create complete software solutions.” - Geeksforgeeks
